Rainy spring morning

In Just-
spring when the world is mud-
luscious the little
lame balloonman

whistles far and wee

and eddieandbill come
running from marbles and
piracies and it's
spring

when the world is puddle-wonderful

the queer
old balloonman whistles
far and wee
and bettyandisbel come dancing

from hop-scotch and jump-rope and

it's
spring
and
the

goat-footed

balloonMan whistles
far
and
wee

e.e. cummings

It has been raining for most of the past week. Everything continues to bud and bloom early, especially with all this extra moisture. This is my favorite time of year. Very early spring is so beautiful in this part of the world, and March is my birthday month. I don't anticipate much of a birthday celebration this year due to the ongoing health/financial issues in our household, but I do plan to take the time to notice and appreciate my favorite season.

My oldest daughters birthday is the 15th. Hope you have a good one. You guys have each other, that should be enough :^) Have mixed feelings about tommorrow. My wife and daughters will be there along with some friends. I consider myself blessed. I'll try and get some news posted as soon as I'm able. X.
